Hi Jane,

I am not near a computer, am writing this on my Icon, so can't join you in the 
LevelStar room.  But let me suggest a different way of connecting to your 
shares that might get you better results.  When in the Network folders list, 
press the Menu key and choose new folder.  Then type in your location manually 
using //computer name/share name.  so, if your computer is Jane, and you're 
sharing your My Documents folder you would type //Jane/My Documents.  Remember 
that if you change the share name of the folder in the file sharing properties, 
that you need to enter the share name, not the actual folder name.  If you 
don't change it, it defaults to the name given to the folder, and that's what 
you should enter.

Jenny
